When I say pistol shrimp, you say watchman goby. Right? But not all shrimp belonging to the genus <\/b>Alpheus <\/i><\/b>actually pair up with gobies. Some pistol shrimp are loners. A few associate with anemones. There\u2019s one that prefers corals, and even one that lives with a crab.<\/b><\/p>\n

The \u201cother\u201d pistol shrimp aren\u2019t commonly seen in the aquarium hobby. They do pop up in shipments from time to time, however, or you might come across one as a hitchhiker if you\u2019re lucky. Let\u2019s meet a few gobyless pistol shrimp that prefer symbioses of a different kind!<\/b><\/p>\n

Coral pistol shrimp (<\/b>Alpheus lottini<\/i><\/b>)<\/b><\/p>\n

Did you know that on wild reefs, each branching coral forms its own little universe? Their ramified structure and tasty mucus attract a wide range of critters, from crabs to gobies to bivalves \u2014 and a pistol shrimp, too. The coral pistol shrimp, <\/span>Alpheus lottini<\/span><\/i>, rarely strays far from its pocilloporid host. It has even learned to \u201c<\/span>speak crab-ese<\/span><\/a>\u201d, coexisting peacefully and sometimes working with colorful trapezoid crabs to protect the corals from corallivore crown-of-thorns starfish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protection and defense aren\u2019t the only ways in which coral pistol shrimp interact with their host. They also feed on it, but not in a way that makes one clutch their precious coral colony in fear: they go for the lipid-rich mucus the coral excretes to protect its own tissues. It probably doesn\u2019t mind losing some of this gunk, because the shrimp more than make up for what they take by reducing the amount of harmful sediment stuck to its branches.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got a sizeable cauliflower (<\/span>Pocillopora<\/span><\/i>) coral colony, such as <\/span>P. damicornis<\/span><\/i>, you can give the coral pistol shrimp a try. It\u2019s not exactly a staple invertebrate, but it does come in as a hitchhiker on (coral) shipments from time to time. You may be able to source one with a little effort and patience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anemone pistol shrimp (<\/b>Alpheus armatus <\/i><\/b>complex)<\/b><\/p>\n

A pocilloporid coral\u2019s branches offer excellent hiding places for species that want to rely on stealth to avoid predators. But what if you prefer brawn? An anemone can be just the thing to send hungry fish packing. The <\/span>Alpheus armatus <\/span><\/i>species complex, consisting of five snapping shrimp species, has realized the advantage of living among these cnidarians\u2019 stinging tentacles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Red snapping shrimp (Alpheus armatus) hiding in a corkscrew anemone in the Caribbean Sea, south shore of Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras, Central America<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Snapping shrimp aren\u2019t the only anemone symbionts \u2014 cleaner shrimp like <\/span>Ancylomenes <\/span><\/i>also compete for anemone real estate. But whereas the cleaners are considered commensal, meaning they derive benefit from the symbiosis but the host doesn\u2019t, snapping shrimp are decidedly mutualistic. They more than make up for the protection afforded by the anemone\u2019s nematocysts by keeping it clean and eating its biggest enemy, the bearded fireworm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although neither is common and you might have to do some serious searching to find them, two species in the <\/span>armatus <\/span><\/i>complex have been known to pop up in the aquarium hobby: the original, <\/span>A. armatus<\/span><\/i> (sold as the anemone pistol shrimp), and the blue-legged pistol shrimp, <\/span>A. immaculatus<\/span><\/i>. They\u2019re often mixed up, but given they both sport fantastic colors and patterns, I\u2019d say it doesn\u2019t really matter which one you end up with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aquarists often avoid anemones because they can be a nightmare to maintain. Both these anemone symbionts conveniently shack up with one of the easier species, however. Their host, the small curlique anemone, <\/span>Bartholomea annulata<\/span><\/i>, looks fantastic and makes an excellent beginner anemone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bigclaw snapping shrimp (<\/b>Alpheus heterochaelis<\/i><\/b>)<\/b><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s not a species that pops up in the hobby very often, at least not on purpose, aquarists have reported the hefty bigclaw snapping shrimp hitchhiking into their tanks. That\u2019s not a bad thing! This burrowing species isn\u2019t just fascinating but also incredibly versatile, adapting to a wide range of temperatures and salinities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wild bigclaw snapping shrimp are sometimes found living with small xanthid mud crabs, particularly <\/span>Panopeus herbstii<\/span><\/i> (the black-clawed mud crab). The crab probably doesn\u2019t derive any benefits from this symbiosis, but the shrimp does: it doesn\u2019t appear to be able to dig its own burrow, so it has to rely on hidey-holes dug by other species.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mud crabs are rarely kept as pets. They sometimes pop up as hitchhikers, but like most crabs, they\u2019re known for causing mayhem in community systems and considered very bad news. That doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t keep the shrimp, though.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I suspect the main reason bigclaw snappers aren\u2019t more popular in the hobby is because they don\u2019t normally leave their burrows much, which gets boring quickly. There might be a solution, though: I\u2019m thinking a <\/span>3d-printed tunnel<\/span><\/a> buried under the substrate against the front aquarium panel (ant farm-style, basically) could be just the thing. Feeding the shrimp won\u2019t be a problem, as it should take any kind of meaty food. It does hunt other invertebrates and is liable to shoot shrimp and crabs with its oversized claw, so it\u2019s best kept with fish tankmates only.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n

Pistol shrimp that associate with gobies dominate the hobby, but they\u2019re not the only symbiotic <\/span>Alpheus <\/span><\/i>out there. If you come across a coral or anemone shrimp, bringing it home will allow you to observe a different kind of symbiosis very few aquarists get to enjoy. Bigclaw snappers unfortunately can\u2019t collaborate with their favorite crabs in our home tanks, but can still make an interesting and uncommon addition to your reef or FOWLR.<\/span><\/p>\n
